#prison duo my beloved

[kai0sunflower]

Someone let Kai have the braincell and they chose violence, now it is everyone's problem

TW: Character Death, Slight Panic, Self Hatred(?) Icarus gasped as the sword pierced their body, they jerked forwards as it was yanked out of them. Centross stepped back and turned it over in his hands. "You know I didn't want to do that, Icarus. But you made me."

They fell to their knees and clutched their stomach desperately trying to stop the bleeding. "Wh.. Why?…" They coughed up blood violently.

"Don't act like you don't know. You've said it yourself, you're a failure. All you manage to do is make mistakes. I mean, you'd think you'd stumble upon the right choice at least once in your life but gods you managed to beat those odds, haven't you?" He used the tip of the blade to lift their chin so they would look at him. He smiled at them.

A sob tore itself from Icarus' throat, they couldn't speak. Their throat felt so tight it was like someone was suffocating them. They stared into his eyes, purple tendrils of corruption snaked all over his face.

"I could make it quicker. But you don't deserve that, do you?" Centross tilted his head. Icarus shook theirs. They knew they didn't. They knew they deserved a slow, painful death. He was right after all. They're just a failure. "It's okay, Icarus. You're finally helping everyone."

"..I-…" Icarus forced the word out, it was pathetic really. Pitiful even. They could barely even get their last words out.

"I'm sorry, truly. I didn't want you to hate me too, friend" Centross pushed the tip of the sword against their throat.

"I don't… hate you. You're…" Icarus swayed, their eyes fluttering closed for a moment. "still my best friend..."

Something in Centross snapped. He pulled the sword away and stepped back. "What-" He looked around, "What did I…" He looked at Icarus as they fell to the side. He dropped his sword and rushed to them but didn't dare touch them. "Ic- Icarus! Icarus, shit- shit, shit I didn't- what did I do?! I'm sorry," He carefully shook them but they didn't respond. He felt for a pulse. "Icarus?.."

Nothing.

"David?.." A quiet voice came from behind him. He turned around and saw the soul of Icarus. "It's okay," They smiled. They looked happy. Genuinely happy. "This is for the best, isn't it?"

you know how we're like "oh wet birds should've kissed about it"? no. no actually *prison duo* should've kissed about it and in this essay I will- (/hj)

[redraven25-stuff]

i love qpr prison duo sm. i need more fics of them being a bit gay

[rima-niki]

Silly Event prison duo Headconnon times because Athena is so right with the fact that Rondael lives with his vampire gf and lighting hunter bf:

- Ajax didn't realize he liked Rondael till they were fighting in the sky with each other to see who would win.

-Rondael didn't realize that he liked Ajax till they were alone on the "chess board". When he figured out that he liked Ajax he talked to Emma about it, and she was supportive of them and also was very much like "you didn't already know, damn I thought you guys knew you were mutually pinning for each other"

-The two getting together happened this current season (10 of EOD) when the things weren't there and Ajax doesn't fully mention it to them either. But it was absolutely a really silly getting together of them both trying to make a spot but failing to get the other there till they just ask each other out in the middle of their house (Emma was just watching with a vile of blood)

- Rondael whenever he has the chance and they aren't doing anything in particular will just turn into a bat and lay on Ajax's head.

-Even tho Ajax is a vampire hunter he never eats any garlic so his blood is free for the taking, even if it's a bit electric, it's also turned into Rondael's favorite blood.

-Ajax will always make sure there is room beside them for Rondael to just be.

-Ajax fears that one day when they wake up in another event they'll never see Rondael ever again. Rondael is always quick to comfort them, and staying next to Ajax.

-Rondael as a fear that Ajax will also just disappear, knowing how their weird eye just left one day, He fears it might happen to them.

-Rondael calls Ajax his lightning or his hunter and Ajax at first didn't know how to feel about that but grew to really enjoy the names.

-Ajax calls Rondael Ron or his flame, it caught both of them off guard the first time it happened but it ended with them kissing in that moment

-Rondael gives a forehead kiss Goodnight to Ajax

-Ajax love languages are Quality time and Gift giving

-Rondael's love languages are words of "affection"(aka violence) and Quality time

-Emma's love languages are words of affection and touch

Another thing I wrote because you deserve it

I don’t think I ever posted it so here you go <3

(I’m not that happy with this one, and it’s pretty short, not exactly too in character, but some season 1 PrisonDuo is good for the soul /lh)

-=+=-

Centross was back in the Ominous bane base. He doesn’t usually stay for long, just wanting to grab some extra materials he’s *sure* Sherb must have somewhere in the underground space.

He eventually made his way towards the extra rooms they kept in the back. Sherbert insisted they had needed them “just in case”. He’d never understood the logic behind that, not until maybe Athena staying there.

As he walked through the dark hall, he paused as he noticed the Alchemists door was cracked open. There was a soft light coming from their room, a glow seemingly from their brewing stands. He creaks the door open slightly, wondering what they would be doing awake at this hour, when he actually sees the bird.

They were asleep, head resting against their arms over their alchemy notes. There were various ingredient strewn about in different pans, some differently shaped bottles set aside next to the brewing stands. He considers leaving them like that, he really does, in fact he turns around to just walk away.

He turns back, running his hands over his face with a heavy sigh before walking towards them. He observed them for a moment, their messy hair with their goggles still on, jacket discarded on the floor so their tank top is revealing their purpled skin, head resting against their arms with their nose tucked under so you could only see their closed eyes.

He picks their jacket up, folding it neatly and placing it on their desk beside their brewing stands. He takes off the jacket he’d been wearing and places it carefully over their shoulders. They relax just slightly so the jacket settles neatly over them. He smiles at them fondly for a moment, before shaking his head with a soft smile. He lightly ruffles their hair, muttering a quiet “Idiot bird” before leaving.

——

They woke with a start. The things waking up all around them, annoying chatting starting up as usual.

They roll their eyes and lift their head, tilting it just slightly as they register the unfamiliar weight.

They turn to find Centross’s jacket around their shoulders, short circuiting for a moment before shaking their head.

They smile just barely, muttering “That idiot.” before getting up. They glance at their jacket a moment before adjusting his over their shoulders and continuing their potion work.

——

They end up switching jackets before leaving the room. They can’t let anyone see that they’d kept it on, of course.

The things bully them anyway.

Next time they see him they throw it at him- “take your jacket you *idiot*” -before walking away as he laughs and pulls it on.

Maybe they smile, but nobody would ever need to know that now would they.

[bleue-flora]

at least cpunz has cdream to comfort him if they feel bad about the ctommy and ctubbo stuff /j

[context] & [other context]

You joke but like…

Literally.

When clingy duo hurts them, they got eachothers’ backs. When clingy duo fails to see how cpunz could even be hurt, cdream is there with sandwiches to confront him…

‘I just don’t want to ever be excluded.'

(Side note, anyone ever notice how cdream says they are going to go listen to some music in that clip?… now that’s wholesome. What song do you think they go listen to? Cat? Mellohi? Pigstep? Maybe one of the discs he got from cTommy?………. ya know it’s crazy that the villain also just likes to vibe with his best friend and listen to some discs… almost like he’s just some guy or something…)

[rutadales]

i voted for them! that one stream where c!dream visits the summer home lives in my head forever <3 <3 uh, if possible, rivals duo? (this is loyal simplepotatofarmer)

ANYTHING FOR YOU LOYAL!!!!!!!!!!

(oh also vote droolish <3 kiss kiss)

[linagram]

mini-interrogation time! [ valentine's day special ]

to celebrate valentine's day, the guards have asked linagram prisoners one simple question related to this holiday!

"How do you feel about Valentine's Day?"

(all these answers take place after the second trial)

Akio: "My parents celebrate it. I don't really care about it personally. Receiving a gift from him would be nice."

Aimi: "I like the aesthetic and the meaning of it, but I don't have anyone to celebrate it with.."

Prisoner 003, Shun, wasn't able to answer the question. The paper he was supposed to use has also been eaten by him.

Naomi: "How am I supposed to feel about it? Am I supposed to feel anything at all? Please tell me."

Kei: "I like it! But I don't really celebrate it. I remember receiving chocolates once back when I was in school, but I don't remember who made them and how I reacted.."

Eiko: "TAKERU TAKERU TAKERU TAKERU TAKERU TAKERU TAKERU Do you know when Eiji-kun is going to come back? I have prepared a gift for him.."

Asahi: "I only care about the chocolates. I'm too young for all the romance stuff anyway."

Yurika: "I used to dislike it, but now I get to spend it with Takame-san. So I like it."

Riku: "I always was very popular in school, so obviously I get a lot of gifts and chocolates every year. I usually give the ones I don't like to Yue, but I guess that's not possible anymore."

Reina: "I forgot that it was a thing. I guess this tells you everything you need to know."

One prison break à la rivals duo for my beloved rivalstwt

[yarrayora]

because of the lack of female protagonists in... pretty much every genre, really, people tend to hype up a lot of series as "better than the average [insert genre]" just because it has a female protagonist rather than male

(personally i think girls deserve formulaic schlock, too, like how bofuri is basically the average MMOVR with a black haired plain looking boy repeatedly stumbling upon cheat powers except the protagonist is a girl)

but when i look for new titles saying "i want interesting worldbuilding where we get to see how this fantasy world works as a society and the court intrigue goes beyond high school level mean girl bullying" and people respond with titles like "i'm in love with the villainess" it's like asking for a grilled steak and getting handed a hamburger

burger's good, but not what i'm looking for

so here's a list of my manga/webtoon recommendations for stories of political intrigue in fantasy worlds with a female protagonist (not all of them are isekai or regression or reincarnation, most are straight up just fantasy world):

The Holy Grail of Eris

The story of a kingdom after the villainess is executed for attempting to poison the heroine beloved by the crown prince. Our protagonist is Constance Grail who finds herself being haunted by the ghost of the villainess Scarlet Castiel who saved her from suffering the humiliation of having her engagement broken because of a false accusation.

Scarlet claims that she has been framed, and together the duo is set to find out the truth regarding her death sentence.

Saying more than this would ruin the plot twists, but read this if you're interested in a story where it makes sense for a ducal daughter to be sacrificed in exchange for a lady of a lower class as the nation's queen.

Itsuwari no Freya (localized as Prince Freya)

A small kingdom struggles to defend itself against a powerful warmongering kingdom with the leadership of their cunning prince. Except, the prince has died. To prevent the flame of hope from being extinguished, the prince's inner circle employs the aid of Freya, a village maiden with the same face as the late prince.

There is no time to prepare her to learn the ropes of politics. Now Freya must plunge immediately into international turmoil and figure out a way to secure support from other nations with the help of the prince's knights and, of course, her own charisma and intelligence.

Ebony (localized as Lady Evony)

Sensational news sweeps the nation: the Grand Duke has put a criminal under his protection. Evony was accused of her father's murder and ended up suffering all kinds of abuse in the hands of the prison wardens who despise her.

Yet her time at the women's prison was also the only time she was able to gain education in a misogynistic nation who still bars women from learning while other countries have a headmistress for their famous college and traveling tradeswomen.

As she heals from the wounds inflicted both on her body and her heart, she realizes she wants to become someone who can stand equal to the Grand Duke and not just a fragile flower to be protected in his garden.

Great if you're looking for slow burn romance where the main couple are equals instead of the usual "obsessive yandere male lead who holds to power/lovely lady who struggles to be useful" or "stupid but doting male lead who needs his very smart lady to show him the way"

Also great if you're looking for a korean webtoon where all their problems CANNOT be solved by the protagonists being wealthy capitalists

The Falcon Princess

While other webtoons tend to focus on noblewomen's tea parties as a source of conflict, The Falcon Princess focuses on a kingdom in the middle of being invaded.

The protagonist is a princess on the run when the imperial palace ends up ransacked by the enemy nation. She wakes up as a falcon and ends up finding herself as her kingdom's commander's messenger bird.

Despite the language barrier, the princess helps the commander figure out the enemy's location, strategy, and various ways to defeat them and finds herself becoming a symbol of hope who leads the army into reclaiming her nation.

JK Haru is a Sex Worker in Another World

Last but not least but is definitely the most controversial pick. Haru is a girl who gets reincarnated in another world after she got hit by a truck alongside her otaku classmate.

While said otaku is living his best life as his power fantasy becomes a reality, Haru refuses to be his girl in exchange for a comfortable life, even though the only job she could have in a misogynistic world where women can't even eat at a restaurant without a chaperone is at a brothel.

And yet, she doesn't hate it. Although the customers can be rough, she befriends the other prostitutes at the brothel and figures out how to enjoy her job. It's a story that depicts sex workers with respect, acknowledging their struggles without turning it into misery porn.

It also asks an important question regarding the trope of "overpowered isekaid protagonist changes the world for the better": CAN they actually change the world just because they have cheat powers? After all, societal issue isn't something you can solve using brute force and money alone

[hogans-heroes]

can i ask about the learning curve wip? maybe get a snippet? 😊

Of course! My most beloved wip rn, my chaptered Alex pov. I made a descriptive post about it here and posted a snippet here! (with mini visuals). But I'll give you another longer snippit because I love you and your writing! (Also, as much as I love this fic I've been getting stuck with it lately so am writing other stuff atm. Will get back to it very soon).

Alex’s dad was a psychologist, and boy would he have a field day at Stalag Luft III.

He could practically hear his father’s voice in his head as he watched the guys mill around the camp compound, narrating their actions and picking them apart to gently expose what was inside, for their own good, to study them like wild creatures who in extreme circumstances often reverted back to cavemen, to more raw forms of behavior.

He can’t use his words, his dad would say. Because at some point he tried and tried and tried, and they never worked. “To hell with this,” the brain says, “we’re gonna go back to the basics,” and that’s usually physical expression.

There’s really only two core emotions at the heart of a human. If you keep peeling at the bottom of every action and reaction, every visible emotion, you’ll find either love, or fear. And they’re usually connected. That’s all humans are really made of.

So his dad might have gotten a little philosophical too. At least it gave Alex more thoughts to keep himself busy and not go crazy locked up. It was fun in a way, collecting bits of information and arranging them like a child would blocks. That Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry and Biology he had earned before the war wouldn’t do him much good if it didn’t at least help keep him alive for the duration. The camp was only a new study he could apply the scientific method to.

So far it had been going well, and every piece fit together in its place. The one thing Alex could not grasp however, that was driving him crazy, was the two majors from the 100th.

Egan and Cleven? Buck and Bucky? John and Gale? Alex wasn't sure what combination of names he should be using or even who was who most of the time, but the names always went together. Not a single person Alex had encountered had ever used the names separately. The way prisoners talked about them, anyone would have thought they were some dual-soul deity the stalag had built a religion around, yet since Alex had been assigned to their barrack room all his careful study of them had only resulted with a handful of pieces that didn’t fit together. Major Gale Cleven “Call me Buck,” with eyes that could pierce your soul like an x-ray and “just” John Egan. Buck, whose impossible gentleness was at odds with his rock-wall presence at the front of his men, and Egan, who treated Alex like a disease though it didn’t seem to be for the usual reasons, he treated everyone that way, walked around with volcanic ash trailing from cracks that Alex wondered if only he could see. What pieces Alex had gathered of the two of them wasn’t the same as what he was hearing from the 100th. The supposed yin-and-yang duo vacillated like a metronome between hostile and devoted and it drove Alex insane.

Pain shot up his leg and he caught himself on Daniels’ outstretched arm, jerking him back to his body moving one foot in front of the other and two comrades beside him, having lost count how many times they had circumnavigated the camp. They were passing their own hut again and this time Buck was sitting on the steps with his nose in a book, his messy hair fallen over his forehead and long fingers clenching the worn cover with more force necessary for a book on native plants of Ireland (Alex had read it the week before). He remained laser focused on the page with a furrow in his brow, scars on his cheeks contrasting sharply with the soft angles of his face, and Alex jumped when Macon knocked him on the arm. 

“Pay attention man,” Macon quipped. “We’re still on for our escape, the last thing we need is for you to adopt some sad-eyed White boy.”

Alex wasn’t sure if he should be insulted, but frowned anyway. “Buck’s my friend,” he retorted. 

“Oh it’s Buck now? That’s a fuckin’ major, man. A squadron commander with more flight hours than actual goddamn birds and you’re calling that Buck?”

“Just don't get too attached,” Daniels interjected. “The less people we trust here the better.”

The image of Buck sitting in the library with his chin on his knees, gentle blue eyes giving undivided attention as Alex explained some fighter plane or science subject made his stomach twist at the suggestion of not trusting him, or even worse, leaving him behind. Alex had spent most of his life being teased for being too soft, too kind, too trusting. He’d gotten himself in a bad spot several times because of that too, so he probably should be more careful, but sue him, he was tired and aching inside and Buck had actually listened.

Reading SVSSS: Bonus- Chapter 31

For those who don't know, I am reading SVSSS for the first time and sharing my thoughts!

If you have not read it, there will be spoilers! Consider this a warning.

Also- if you want to follow along, I am aiming to post updates daily. You can find all the posts in the tag bloopitynoot reads SVSSS. You can also check out the intro post for context on my read.

I am in a food coma right now, I am not going to lie. I went on a double date today that was a donut crawl part 1/2. We went to two local donut shops and sampled donuts- it was so tasty but also, SO MUCH SUGAR.

(I did read the chapter pre donut meal though with some white tea).

Left side Lady Glaze: we rated these 3/5. They were fine. But honestly not as good as they were when they opened the shop! Right side Debrodniks, much better but so sweet 4/5.

We have two more places to check out, but that will be another weekend LOL.

let's gooo chapter 31

I'm three sentences in and already intrigued by the chapter. Although, I am terrified for the nature of the survey questions. p339

unrelated to this chapter- this is such a random thing to include in this book. What I would give to have a glimpse into the brain of MXTX. Like I 100% want to know how this book came together and why certain things were included or not. So good

starting this interview with sass from Binghe AND unanswered age questions that even airplane has 0 idea about. pp339-340

Also airplane with this survey: yeah, let's just not answer these next 30 questions....p340

Airplane: describe each other. SQQ with 0 chill: (not actually but my interpretation of this literature) LBH cries so much, is a little bitch, and is also a big simp. LBH: Shizun is so kind. p340

Wait, this went from kind of awful for the duo to really soft. "What do you hate about one another?" LBH & SQQ: Nothing. p341.

Baby Binghe wants to husband this man so badly. p342

oh god. The fact that LBH thinks the Water Prison was their first date is WILD. p343

"A helpless masochist; beyond cure" not wrong about LBH. p345

My personal headcanon during this interview is that airplane is listening to these two and watching them interact and simultaneously questioning two things; 1. his own relationship dynamic with Mobei-jun and how the two in front of him are a disaster 2. his entire writing of LBH in PIDW and what has become of his beloved protagonist. p347

LOL WAIT. The next page he does indeed reflect on the second thought I wrote and PIDW. p348

"Best way to please your partner during sex" LBH: <confidently> not crying. Pls help this man, the standards LOL. p350

These two are so weird, but they work

I honestly don't know how they work, I don't even know how to describe this couple to other people, but like good for them. What two absolute weirdos. One is trying to actively gaslight themselves into being straight (while actively caring about the other) and the other is just smitten. So damn weird.

ONE MORE CHAPTER TO GO! I hope to read it tomorrow morning (honestly mostly because Monday I want to start on the massive pile of fanfic yall have been so kind to share with me).

[redraven25-stuff]

qpr prison duo but they really boarder romantic. qpr can be on the line between strong platonic attraction and romantic attraction but oh my god do they fucking push it. one conversation and it’s not queer platonic anymore.

it would probably be them doing something domestic like centross preening icarus’s wings and one of them says “this cannot be queer platonic anymore.” they agree that it’s romantic and they continue abt their day as they would. they tip on the line everyday

[alliumsduo]

Alliumduo my beloveds they are so important to me because they just. Hnfndjsb they had SUCH a strong start and exile and all that came with it just kind of. Came between what to me kind of felt like uhhh... An easy connection that almost had soulmate vibes? Like, if things hadn't been so messy all the time and they actually had the time and environment to just hang normally, I really wonder what kind of friendship they would've had then. Because even with what we got they still had a remarkable bond! And those were very subpar conditions! But yeah,to me, while clingyduo always have a "chosen soulmate" vibe, Alliumduo have a more traditional soulmate vibe. A seed that sadly didn't get quite the water and soil and sunlight it deserved. Fanworks that actually put more emphasis on them are so very dear to me. Especially fanworks where they were given the room to actually really bond because my god can you imagine? Can you imagine how much greater their bond could've been if the server storyline didn't constantly get in the way?

Not to downplay the Alliumduo we got obviously. Because they are already. Holy shit. Like. That stream after Wilburs revival where Tommy tries watching out for Ranboo? They are so. Goddamn soft for each other. I can't.

They have me in tears

ANON. ANON YOU GET ME. YOU GET ME ANON.

they make my physically unwell /silly

You are so right, clingy duo does have more of a chosen soulmate vibe while allium duo did give me more traditional soulmate vibes.

To me, DSMP ending never happened. Prison break who? No no. c!Dream stayed in prison,c!Ranboo lived amen. 100% canon don't question me.

I like to headcanon them as soulmate best friends OR queerplatonic. We value friendships in my house take your shoes and LEAVE if you dont.

You are so right, fanworks are CARRYING the allium duo enjoyers. They really would've had an remarkable bond had it been expand upon more, I think c!Tommy would've actually really trusted c!Ranboo. c!Tommy looking out for c!Ranboo makes me just like yell and cry on the floor because THEM. YOU CANT GET BETTER THAN THEM!!

They truly had a great start with exile, it really was an amazing introduction to their bond and what got me hooked on them. C!Tommy taking the blame and c!Ranboo being like 'dude wtf he's not selfish.'

It would have been so cool if c!Tommy could have actually been integrated into c!bee duo's family, he is technically an uncle to Michael and I would have love to see that, I also would have love to see c!Fundy and c!Tommy healing arc but thats just me. anyway.

Anyway. They make me so ill. /silly

[whosthere54]

So there's this quote that I keep seeing on my Pinterest and EVERY TIME I go lol hey it's Broters or lol hey it's Prison duo but I wanna talk about it for a min cause sjkfkfkfkf I'm so normal

If u wanna I'm gonna yell about it below the cut :)

(Disclaimer it's all just incoherent ramblings at *checks watch* sometime around 1 AM but there's some sense to it I promise just trust me /lh/silly/hj)

So the quote is short, it’s just-

"Icarus should have waited for nightfall. The moon would have never let him go" - Nina Mouawad, blue sun

And I shake it. I shake it around. There's so much symbolism of Icarus and the sun. Icarus and Apollo. I always make comparisons of "hey what is Icarus's sun" cause I think it's many things- not even just Fable, though in some ways it could be the sun for Icarus. The thing causing them to fall, but he's always more Daedalus coded consistently.

Icarus's sun and Icarus's ocean I feel are two very similar things. The whole the sun is what causes Icarus to drown in the first place idea, is basically what I'm getting at.

I say many words but to try to shorten it, Icarus's sun is their fathers words, the idea they were something more than they were (something *better*). Their sun was just a touch of praise and validation (something they had been starved of for so so long). At the time, with fable, it may have still been out of reach for them. But, it was attainable. And that's all that matters to Icarus, isn't it?

Basically, their sun is the idea they can fix their mistakes. The idea that they could do something right for once. The thought that they could fix their relationships with the people they cared about (who they repeatedly pushed away for a taste of sunlight)

But, that sun isn't really the sun. it was the water that swallowed them whole as they fell deeper and deeper into what they deemed as trying to fix things. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't, they couldn't quite tell anymore. Their ocean was the thoughts that came with flying, the thoughts that drowned them in their own mind. (The thoughts that told them they were doing the right thing. Their lungs filling with salt as the things around them told them this wasn't right, told them that he was wrong.)

The water was the trust they would tell themself Fable earned. (Maybe it was wrongly placed- but who else could Icarus have believed they could place that same trust on then) That's my whole "Icarus falls for a taste of the sun, but they chose the wrong sun to believe in" idea.

So that's the sun and the water blah blah blah /lh I'm yapping too much. I say "I try to shorten it” and then yap for an hour/silly

Now to the moon symbolism. So- Rae is alwyas moon and stars coded. As it goes- void prince my beloved.

Centross I say is moon coded personally. In my heart.

So, the moon symbolism I know of and think of off the top of my head are Cycles, immortality/eternity, the soul, enlightenment but also like dark side of the moon shit. But we go with the hey it's she who guides my way through the darkest of nights type stuff-yknow. With a quick google search and clicking on the first page that came up it's all I said before also can be like realm between conscious and unconscious, capacity for reflection and adaptation, decline of life and sleep. Which- some of those are namely Icarus coded but. Yknow.

Now, Rae and Cen are Icarus's moon because they're the things guiding them. Keeping them together. Helping control the tides and the storms within them. The moon reflects the suns light in the middle of the night- helping people see. They're trying to get Icarus to see what fables actual motive is.

See the moon never stays the same. It's always changing. And that's not a bad thing. They were trying to help Icarus learn that- yet they do what they do and pick something that they've picked before (the repetitive cycle continues) and pick Fable over other people. He's not consistent, yet they don't *really* remember that. But he doesn't change. He's predictable even if just in tone and inflection, but also action. And looks and. A lot of things about Fable stay the same. Have *stayed* the same since their childhood, no matter what they do or don't remember they can grasp that.

Rae or Centross would always try to catch them. They've shown it in the past with actions and words and they've shown it at that time with fable when Rae would still try to check in on their brother and Centross would get Icarus out of their house before his death, and show up to them/check in on them after. They're there, and they try. Fable doesn't, and that's the difference.

Rae and Centross would not let Icarus go until it was life or death. Fable, was fully going to kill Icarus for power. If that's not immediately letting them fall, then I don't know what is.

This is all a stretch but. Shaking it. I'm so normal. Arararah.

Thank you for reading my silly worbs come back later for more silly and more words :3

Cake- Wriothesley x wife!oc & daughter!Reader

Return to File

Recovery date: May 3rd, 2024

Description: Hello I just got an idea, what if Wriothesley had a wife and daughter living in the court of Fontaine, the reader being his daughter, and they'd occasionally visit him and they met the traveler and Paimon during their most recent visit and they decided to ask Wriothesley about them.

Notes: This work was recovered in conjunction with an anonymous researcher, we thank them for their contributions.

Word count: 617

Back to directory

“Excuse me,” a small voice asks from behind Lumine and Paimon. They turn around to find a young girl staring up in awe at Paimon; a woman stands behind her, one hand on her shoulder and the other holding a bag. “Are you a fairy?”

“Who, Paimon?” The little girl nods excitedly, eyes twinkling. “No, Paimon’s Paimon!”

In all honesty, the floating guide isn’t sure how to answer that question. So she diverts the kids' attention.

“What are you doing here?”

The little girl looks back at, presumably, her mother who offers an encouraging nod.

“I’m here to see my daddy!”

“And who’s your daddy?” Lumine asks, crouching down to be eye level with the child.

Something about the little girl looks familiar, but what really catches her eye is the silver locket hanging around her neck. There’s an incredibly familiar wolf emblem raised on the metal with an opal eye set in, the animal and the color invoking a certain prison warden.

“Well, well, well,” Wriothesley’s voice sung. “And what crimes have we committed this time?”

The little girl spun around so fast everyone was worried she would knock herself off balance. A wide grin broke across her face and a high pitched squeal bubbled up from the back of her throat.

“Daddy!” She yelled, sprinting towards the Duke and lunging at him.

“There’s my little princess,” he laughed, catching her under the arms and spinning her up in the air.

She laughed as he peppered her face in kisses, resting her on his hip as the woman approached them. She kissed him, earning a retching sound from the kid, and Wriothesley wrapped his other arm around her waist to tuck her into his side.

“Traveler, Paimon!” He greeted the two. “To what do I owe the pleasure?”

“We were just getting ready to head off to Natlan,” Paimon explained as they walked over. “We were saying goodbye to all our friends.

“Daddy has friends?!” The child gasped.

In response, Wriothesely knocked his head against hers and earned himself a whine. He stared into her eyes for a long moment until she broke down into a fit of giggles and buried her face in his neck.

“Yes, I do,” he laughed, leaning his head against hers. “Why don’t you introduce yourself, huh?”

He kissed her cheek as she turned to look at Lumine and Paimon.

“My name is Y/n.”

“It’s nice to meet you, Y/n,” Lumine smiled. “My name is Lumine.”

“And Paimon’s Paimon!” Paimon turned to Wriothesely as the little girl tucked herself back into her father’s shoulder. “We didn’t know you had a family.”

“We live in the court,” the woman, presumably his wife, said. She extended her hand and introduced herself. “Unfortunatelyyy someeeoneee,” she dragged out the end of her words, “was sentenced to visiting her daddy by the chief justice himself.”

“Since when does Neuvillette concern himself with your visits?”

“Since you’ve been so busy that you couldn’t come see us,” she kissed his cheek before turning back to Lumine and Paimon. “He’s been so busy since the flood, Monsieur Neuvillette passed on Mademoiselle Sigewinne’s concerns that our beloved Duke was working too hard. Trying to make time for us.”

“So Sigewinne told on me,” Wriothesley huffed.

“Oh, daddy! I lost a tooth!”

“You did? Let me see.”

As Y/n pulled back her upper lip to show off the hole where her tooth used to be, letting Wriothesley exam the space, her mother addressed the traveling duo again.

“Would you like to join us for tea before you set back off? I brought cake.”

She held up the bag she’d been carrying.

“Cake? Lumine can we?”

“Sure, why not.”
